Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedChemistrySurface Chemistry
Which of the given statements are correct?
Options
- AEntropy of micellization is negative as a large number of molecules associate to form larger molecules
- BEntropy of micellization is positive due to the increased freedom of hydrophobic chain in the nonpolar interio
- CEnthalpy of micellization is often positive
- DThe micellization process is governed primarily by the entropy gain associated with it
Correct answer
D. The micellization process is governed primarily by the entropy gain associated with it
Step-by-step solution
S is positive for micellisation. H is generally positive and this is compensated by the large negative values of ( - T S )
